I'm running FreeBSD 4.2. I downloaded and installed Icecast 1.3.10, Liveice, mpg123, and Lame. I know the Icecast streamer is working because I can feed it from WinAMP on my PC and listen to the stream somewhere else and it sounds fine. I know liveice is working too because Icecast shows that it connects and is sending audio to it. However when I listen to the stream on my PC with WinAMP it's aweful. It sounds like the audio is really overdriven, very distorted, grinding noise. In fact I can't even hear anything of the stream, just the grinding buzzing, and it is very loud. I'm feeding to the line in on my sound card from a portable radio. I get the same effect though whether the audio is plugged into the sound card or not. I imagine this is a hardware problem with the sound card, but it's a run of the mill Sound Blaster AWE32 I think and I figured it would be the most supported. I recompiled the kernel to get the audio to work, and if I send an audio file directly to the audio device I can hear it just fine. It's only when I start up liveice that I get the distortion. I'm kind of a newbie at this audio streaming so don't hate me if this is a really dumb question. Thanks for any help.

I've used a Sound Blaster AWE32 / Liveice combo before. Sounds like your record volume is set WAY to high or more likely you are recording from the wrong input. Make sure that it's the _line_in_ that's selected for recording in you mixer app. Also If i remember you have to use HALF_DUPLEX mode (in liveice.cfg) at least if you're using MIXER mode... I'm not sure about in SIMPLE mode, expirement. Harvey On Wed, 21 Mar 2001, Matthew Mencel wrote:> I'm running FreeBSD 4.2. I downloaded and installed Icecast 1.3.10, > Liveice, mpg123, and Lame.

How do I change the record volume. I am doing all this from the console, no GUI. I have not seen anything in any of the config files to set the record volume.
